OMG, I've started to post like 10 times in the last two days...but can never finish!
We're doing great Lucy. Things have been pretty hectic as Bryce developed jaundice and lost a bunch of weight while in the hosptial. He wasn't BFing, so we had to give him breast milk from a bottle. So that means each feeding consists of me offering the breast, giving him a bottle, then pumping. Which takes over an hour each time. Hence lack of time to post!!
Luckily in the last few days he's started slowly coming around to the breast, so I'm happy. He's finally started putting on weight too - he's up to 6lbs now so almost at his birth weight. The jaundice is settling down and he has more energy.
Maddy is totally in love with her brother, but she's definately testing the waters with us. She's been misbehaving quite a bit, but I can tell she's doing it for attention. I think she'll calm down soon, we just have to be patient with her.
Despite being exhausted, I'm totally smitten with my little man. I forgot about how strong the emotions are when you in the 'falling in love' phase with your child. I look at both of them and my heart just wants to burst.
Lucy, I'm sorry to hear you've been on such a roller coaster of emotions. I hope you feel better soon.
Vicky, I think I may have gotten more sleep than you last night and I have a 7 day old baby!!
Sugar, please don't feel bad. We all loose our temper every once in a while. Believe me this will not be the last time it happens with Charlotte. The important part is that you realize when it's unwarranted.
Sassy, sorry to hear about the colic. Maddy had it too and it was dreadful. My only tip is to invest in a good baby carrier. Carrying her around was the only thing that made her calm down.
Hearty, can't wait to hear more about how parenting is going.
Allie and Hoping, sorry to hear about the fire. I hope things get under control soon.
Nato, how is TTCing going? How's your CM today? Come on, we need some details to obsess over!!
There I did it! Now off to bed for this tired, but happy Mommy!!
